On most of the bestsellers lists back in 1977!
When the daughter of one of the world's richest men inherits his multi-billion-dollar business, she inherits his position at the top of the company and at the top of the victim's list af his murderer!
I read this by desparation. It was one of those time I was without a read and my daughter had this book in a bedside basket. Everyone knows who
Sydnet Sheldon is and he is an amazing story teller. So many famous authors are boring but every Sheldon book I have read are a fast paced read with a surprise ending which I didn't except. Enjoy!
The plot is breath-taking. The characters are rich and well described. It's a must read.
This wonderful thriller is the story of Elizabeth Roffe, whose father has just died (or was he murdered?), leaving her heiress to a multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical maker. She takes over the reins of the company, with the help of Rhys Williams, a handsome but mysterious self-made man. Elizabeth's four quirky cousins and co-owners of the company each have shady pasts and need money, badly. They are pressuring her to allow the company to go public; she refuses, and becomes the target of an unknown assassin.
This is a book you will not be able to put down. The story is full of fascinating flashbacks, detailing the often bizarre lives of all the Roffes: Alec from London, Helene from Paris, Anna from Berlin, and Ivo from Rome. Each one has a reason to want Elizabeth out of the way, and as the attempts on her life increase, the tension mounts until the killer is revealed in a truly frightening conclusion. Highly recommended for Sidney Sheldon fans and everyone who enjoys fast-paced stories full of action and memorable characters. This book was made into an all-star movie with Audrey Hepburn, Omar Sharif, and James Mason.

This book interwined many side stories in with the main storyline which made the book a fabulous read. Sheldon threw twists and turns and the reader making it virtually impossible to put this page turner down.
The dust jacket is torn and rough but the book is in excellent condition.
